Job scheduling and execution

If you belong to multiple fair share groups, LSF now allows you to exclude fair share groups from being associated with a job.

Run the bsub -G command option and use a tilde (~) to specify any fair share groups from which you want to exclude for the job. Use a space-separated list of tildes (~) to exclude multiple groups. If you exclude a middle node from a fair share tree, the descendant groups of that middle node are excluded along the specific path under the middle node.

For example, if there are two paths in the fair share tree to userA, which are /groupA/groupB/userA and /groupB/userA, and you specify bsub -G "~groupA", userA can still be associated with the path /groupB/userA.
